I had a bit of a mishap with my trumpet case recently; the polystyrene inside of the case collapsed!

My mum emailed B&S and Lyndon Chapman (UK sales manager) responded within hours. Lyndon mentioned how this was a rare occurrence for B&S cases but that if I were to go to Phil Parker in Camden (where I bought my trumpet) then they would replace it under warranty. I rang up and talked to Will who advised me to bring in my case for them to assess the damage.

On Saturday I did exactly that and received excellent customer service from Hugh who immediately exchanged my old case for a new one. As I walk to school and Junior Trinity with my case on my back and find it quite bulky, I decided to take the opportunity to look at some smaller ones. I found a compact, silver JW Eastman case which I quickly fell in love with and that fitted my trumpet like a glove. I then bought the case with money I had earned from teaching so now get to choose which case to use on which occasion.
